The restructuring provision relates to onerous leases arising from the 'right-sizing' of our portfolio of properties within the UK. Dilapidations also relate to properties. Both will be utilised by vacation.

In respect of onerous leases and dilapidation provisions, external advisors were used to provide estimates of potential costs and likelihood of sub-letting. The future cash flows were then discounted using risk free rates over the length of the leases.

All amounts represent a best estimate of the expected cash outflows although actual amounts paid could be lower or higher.
